Summary

I am a dedicated and optimistic Firefighter who prioritizes teamwork and genuine connections with people. I have 2 and half years of experience and have had the pleasure to work with an amazing and unique department that I am proud to have served. During my time at Puerco Valley FD I have written 400+ EMS reports taking patient care, and responded to over 600 EMS calls. I have responded to over 200 fire calls and have written 100+ fire reports.

I am used to high stress situations working with limited personnel, water supply, and long response times. I've had the pleasure of working many unique individuals, some of which I've personally trained to department standards.

I believe my unique experiences can assist my role as a Firefighter here at Sedona Fire and help achieve department and community goals.
